It was a big weekend for the film. In honor of the one-weekend-only theatrical engagement, voice cast members Arden Cho, May Hong, Ken Jeong, vocalists Rei Ami and Kevin Woo, directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans and producer Michelle L.M. Wong popped in to surprise fans at screenings across New York and L.A. The Empire State Building was also lit up gold over the weekend in honor of the film, in partnership with Netflix and the Coalition of Asian Pacifics in Entertainment (CAPE) and with support from iHeartMedia.
Cho, and Appelhans were present for a preview of the sing-along held at Netflix last week, where EJAE, the vocalist responsible for lead character Rumi’s singing parts and songwriting on several tracks, made an appearance to speak to the crowd about the success of the project and its songs.
“I’m speechless. This has all been insane. I’ve been crying a lot,” EJAE told the crowd at the screening. The 33-year-old co-wrote the film’s breakout song, “Golden,” which hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking the first time a female group has topped the chart since Destiny’s Child in 2001.
KPop Demon Hunters Sing-Along will stream globally on Netflix.
